[i]If I played tennis, squash, badminton and table-tennis you wouldn't expect me to do them all with one racquet would you?

Reasoned argument for a DH bike, an XC bike, a BMX and a road bike.
I started by buying only black Dolan bikes to minimise the risk of being caught. Apartently wives know the difference between a Dolan carbon cx bike and a single speed track bike! 😳
I really pushed my luck when I bought a brand new BMW R1200GS Adventure in the autumn. I was planning to tell her but the time never seemed right. The post office saved me the trouble when they kindly posted the V5 documents which she then opened 😳
Read an amusing article where a guy feared that if he died, his wife would sell his bikes for what he had told her they were worth !!!
Four and a half for me. Plus, she has three and a half, as we share the tandem... At least she paid for her own Thudbuster post on the back! I'd love to sneak a fatbike in as well but suspect that it might also cost me a baby fatty as well.
Mrs Binners said to me yesterday "Seeing as I don't really use that bike you bought me (Specialized Saffire), why don't you sell it, and yours and spend the cash buying yourself that [i]really[/i] nice one, you've always wanted?"
I'm quite happy with the bikes I've got, but once you've had that statement made…...
I would be deeply suspicious, what is she upto/planning?why don't you sell it, and yours and spend the cash buying yourself that really nice one, you've always wanted?
I was clever enough to marry a very astute woman, who knows me inside out and seems to know even when I start to even dream of a new bike. (She probably knows I'm writing this!...)
my wife is exactly the same with me.....are we married to the same woman?? 😛
at one point i had 4 bikes then i sold one with the view of replacing it, but i bought a house instead and she made me sell another one, some **@ stole the other one and now i have one left.
she knows i'm looking for another bike but i have to put that off until gonzy number 3 arrives!!
I know its slightly off topic, but I'm sure this will be appreciated while we are in the "getting one over on her indoors" zone
A couple of years ago, I met a bloke through work at a trade show, sat around waiting for customers he told me a great story about how he and his mates were of an age where the wives wouldn't let them do anything fun any more and that they had to be all grown up and sensible etc etc, (it all sounded pretty horrible to me, but I'm only 36 so to young to be worrying about growing up just yet) anyway they hatched a plan to invent new mate!!! They dropped him into conversation at home from time to time and asked for a pass out so they could go out for his birthday. It worked and they got a night out on the lash together (the first in a long time) no questions asked.... They then helped him move flats, which was code for a day at Afan, something they dearly missed. "Remember this guy didn't exists one bit" He finished by telling me that they were off on his stag do in 3 weeks time to Amsterdam for the weekend... Genius in one way, pretty sad in another!! I didn't see the guy last year but will look out for him at this years show as Id love to know how him and his mates got out of the imaginary wedding, of which there Mrs no doubt would have wanted to go to.....
Obviously I thought the same Donk. But this appears to be genuine
*wanders off to the Curtis site to look at custom frames* 😀

@ xterramac - love it!
Xterramac - he will probably blag that by saying that the said imaginary friend got dumped by his wife to be while on his stag do....cue the need to be around him more often to help him get over her!! 😀
